About this listen

"Andy's Chomping at the Bit" discusses various topics, issues, and aspects in our daily lives through the unique personal perspective of Andy Schiffer, while also addressing the challenges and growth he experiences living with addiction, PTSD, and other obstacles.


Andy, a recovering addict has openly documented his recovery journey dating back to November 15, 2022, when the first videocast episode of "Andy's Chomping at the Bit" aired on YouTube. He was only a couple of months clean and sober at the time, and decided to document his journey as a reminder to himself of the road he was taking, and to bring awareness to addiction recovery, showing the struggles and the triumphs along the way.


On June 30, 2024, "Andy's Chomping at the Bit" became a weekly production through Big Andy Media, Andy's newly started music and media content business, and on August 1, 2025, it officially moved to an exclusively audio podcast.


Follow along on an open, honest, heartfelt journey of reflection, self care, and personal growth!

    Is it a coincidence that the Labor Day released episode for a podcast typically on Fridays is about accountability? Not at all! Here's a very thorough take on accountability; the challenges it has presented/presents, and why it's a focal point of my recovery AND personal growth journey!

    GRIEF
    Aug 23 2025

    Grief, emergencies, and trauma tend to cross paths from time to time... I discuss grief [and slide a bit into trauma as well] on today's episode, while also talking about a family emergency that occurred early on this past weekend. For the most part, they tie together.
